operations., discovered Tuesday morning
one of the wall which remained
standing was threatening to col laps at
any moment, and In order to save ad
joining property from damage It was
necessary to gat prompt action.
At 11 o'clock Tuesday morning the
wrecking company telephoned the Yel
low Pine Lumber company to rush them
a number of thirty-foot beams, twelve
Inches square, to use as supports for the
threatening walk and specified that the
first load must arrlv by I o'clock that
afternoon.

Appeal.
A oonstrucUen of the law Important to
Automobile owners and manufacturers
w rendered Heosmser 1, by the court
of appeal of Kentucky, affirming th
Judgment of th circuit court, la the
oast of Lucy barter against the Old
Motor Works, H was shown that the Old
Motor Work old to Gardner Colston

or rear test, fastened to a tool box. Th
purchaser rented the tnaohlne to Mis
Shoffar, and wbil riding In the ramble
ssat Uie screws became loose and th
whole nog fell off, injuring her to the
extent that she recovered damage
amounting to M.M- The manufacturers
held that If the machine was unsafe
this fact was known to th purchasers
at the time of sale and before Miss ghat
fer ranted It. and that this knowledge
exempted th company from liability to
Miss Bhslfer. a tktrd party, unknown to
them, and that an automobile by its very
nature I dangerous, and that It was in
cumbent upon Miss Shaffer to prove that
the machine was defective and that such
a condition was concealed from th pur
chaser when It was aold.
The appellate eeurt of Kentucky held
that a manufacturer ts liable to A third
party whoa the snkie manufactured Is

when the maker tells such article for
general use -which be knew to

There should hav been two suits,

another eult. cults distinct, between the

Ths truck arrived at the Equitable
building' befora 1 o'clock, end three more
loads were delivered by the same truck
by i o'clock, the time specified for the
delivery of the first.
It Is service of this sort that proves
ths value of the motor truck. The tot

great deal of property. Including the

from destruction.
AUTO TRUCK SETS GOOD
RECORD IN TWIN CITIES
Making fifty to sixty miles a day with
its T,56Vpound load over roads and
streets where every horse-drawn vehicle
Is a sled. Is a pretty good record for a
motor truck. That Is what a three-ton
Avery truck Is doing for Stacy A Sons
In Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn. The
truck la doing more than the work of
three teams and doing it nt less than
the cost of two of them, under circum
stances where team hauling ha every
possible advantage.
The firm of Stacy A Son Is on of th
biggest fruit and grocery wholesale
houses west of Chicago and uses besides
th three-ton truck two two-ton Averys,
Then two hav averaged so far mile
per week over snowy streets. "Thers Is
nothing that can touch these two-ton
Averys." ssid rick Stacy, manager of
the transportation department of the
firm.
They are hauling loads up io three
tons and doing it at about t cents per
ton mile. This Is about half what it
costs to do th same work with teams.
A good deal of Stacy's hauling ts be
tween Minneapolis and St. Paul. Jt
often happens that there It a scarcity of
soma fruit or other article In St Paul
and an overstocked market on the same
product in Minneapolis, or vice versa.
The truck Is used to ttkt advantage of
these conditions, often making handsome
profits by an early morning trip.
